Looks tidy!

Quite liked the gold wheels, a bit different. Plans sound good - keep going with the little things to keep it nice and smart :y:

Looks look a good first car, i havent seen many MK2 Vtr's in this colour, i like it.
Liking the fact you've got stuck straight in.

I like the mirrors, keep them. Do a few others bits inn the interior, reckon it would look cool.
